Third graders in Mr. Leichty’s class have been learning about symbolism and how it is used to make a point in a story. This was a fun, team building type of activity where students wore either white or grey to represent different parts of writing. Students in white, for example, represented the symbolism in the story. It was a fun way to break up traditional learning and do something more hands on!
